RGB and Gesture Sensor, a small breakout board with a built in APDS-9960 sensor that offers ambient light and color measuring, proximity detection, and touchless gesture sensing. With this RGB and Gesture Sensor you will be able to control a computer, microcontroller, robot, and more with a simple swipe of your hand! This is, in fact, the same sensor that the Samsung Galaxy S5 uses and is probably one of the best gesture sensors on the market for the price.
The APDS-9960 is a serious little piece of hardware with built in UV and IR blocking filters, four separate diodes sensitive to different directions, and an I2C compatible interface. For your convenience we have broken out the following pins: VL (optional power to IR LED), GND (Ground), VCC (power to APDS-9960 sensor), SDA (I2C data), SCL (I2C clock), and INT (interrupt). Each APDS-9960 also has a detection range of 4 to 8 inches (10 to 20 cm).

I had used a lots of LoRa module till now, but it's really the best among all of them! the 1262 is a great upgrade in terms of output power and configuration. we can configure the output power, bandwidth, spreading factor and a tons of other things, which are not possible to configure on previous modules. the radiolib library works preety good with it and it also supports rssi and snr like features, which are very crucial when you are seriously researching on antenna or range related works! that's why I eventually like this module more then ebyte LoRas. To me this is the best module in IN8 68MHz, which is completly legal and free to use in India upto 1W! And also thanks to thinkrobotics, I got it in just 1 working day, and your packaging was also too good! Love your service, and keep this modules available on your websight. Your pricing of this module is too good, and I'll buy many of these modules. Thank you!

Team is suppotive and solves all the queries .
The product is good and will surely help me in my project...looking forward for more trades with think robotics.
